Mentioned on another thread.Several of our crowd often mentioned during DeZerbe and Potter era that we never got any lucky games where we were fortunate was to win. Thankfully there have been several this season. Is this down to brilliant management or is he a lucky manager

Unanswerable. Any responses will be heavily weighted in favour of the most recent 90 minutes of football. Or in extremis a recent 45 minutes of football. Check out the numerous thick-eared threads started at HT v Tottenham. It's a bit like the knee-jerk accusing the ref of being a Big Six Homer 20 minutes into a game. And then he suddenly isn't when decisions go our way. Just daft and meaningless football talkSeveral of our crowd often mentioned during DeZerbe and Potter era that we never got any lucky games where we were fortunate was to win.

In the Potter era especially lots of possession and shots from outside the box don’t win games. Fans lord the opposition keeper although in my view that defence splitting pass never came in those games or the fight wasn’t there to get in to them and open them up.Several of our crowd often mentioned during DeZerbe and Potter era that we never got any lucky games where we were fortunate was to win.

Yeah, don't think we would have had any complaints if the Man U or Spurs games had ended in draws.Probably evens itself out. We should have got 3 points vs Ipswich and Forest but didnt, and a few other games we probably shouldn't have had 3 points but did.
Perhaps lucky we were not 4 down at half time but outstanding in 2nd half At Everton they missed 2 sitters in first 20mins then we dominated. Fortunate we did not go 2-1 down against UtdAre you suggesting yesterday was just down to luck and possibly Spurs too?
I think we got plenty but they just get forgotten about as yesterday’s will be once we’ve watched another 40 or 50Several of our crowd often mentioned during DeZerbe and Potter era that we never got any lucky games where we were fortunate was to win.

Agree only one and half very poor performances. Yesterdays performance reminded me of our game against West Ham when they sat back and scored on breakaway and I moaned to WH supporters for weeks about approaching games like that. Maybe Hurzeler has the knack of getting the balance right. Which is not easy. Just look at Palace and WH now struggling when trying to move on from defensive game played by previous managersIt’s too early to say with FH but I like what I see so far. We are prioritising winning games of football rather than getting 75% possession or failing to convert an xG of 12. There has been luck - good (Man United) and bad (Ipswich) - but he’s had one real stinker of a game (Chelsea) and a half (Spurs) and learned and adapted quickly and pragmatically. Very happy with our choice so far.
Like Gary Player said "the harder I work the luckier I get"You make your own luck.
What do you define as luck? To me it’s a dubious referring decision going for us. Or a striker with an open net shooting wide. Everything else is routine football. I didn’t see any luck yesterday.Several of our crowd often mentioned during DeZerbe and Potter era that we never got any lucky games where we were fortunate was to win.
